Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor, a shutter, a composition unit configured to perform continuous shooting of a plurality of exposure images by the image sensor and compose the plurality of images, a driving unit configured to drive the shutter and the image sensor to capture a first black image before the continuous shooting while the image sensor is shielded from light and to capture a second black image after the continuous shooting while the image sensor is shielded from light, and an image processing unit configured to perform first noise reduction processing using the first black image and second noise reduction processing using the second black image for each of a plurality of images obtained by the continuous shooting or an image obtained by composing the plurality of images.
